I thought being out of state may make your acceptance more difficult, since University of Arizona is prestige within the state... I think it's near average.

You should get in fairly easily, even out of state. I had higher GPA and class rank, but I had no ECs to speak of. (Was too busy working)

Easily yes. If you decide to go here, you'll see this school pretty much admits everyone including kids that really shouldn't be going to college.

I just went to visit UofA and absolutely fell in love with it. Out of state should not hurt you. During my college tour they said 30% or 33% of their students are from out of state.

For some strange reason, most of the OOS kids are from California and New York. Why the hell wouldn't you want a UC education at in-state rates?

^^^ Couple reasons:
PAC-10 sports/school spirit if you can't get into UCLA or Cal.
Decent tuition discounts/schloarships for OOS applicants. So even someone from Virginia like the OP, NY, or Cali might be interested in UofA.

Many of the kids can't get into to the top UC's anymore..too competitive. For Cal, UCLA, Davis, you now need over a 4.0 to get in.

U of A: more fun than any of the previous colleges and more school spirit. And it offers Business

Community college GPAs are pretty worthless in my opinion. I've personally seen a girl get a 4.0 at a community college, and then get a 2.74 in the university. Community college standards are just no where near university standards.
Regardless, Oscar, you should probably get in with your high school equivalent GPA. I don't have any in-depth experience with UA's international finaid, but I'm pretty sure they do offer dedicated scholarships for stuff like that: https://financialaid.arizona.edu/scholarships/
BTW I love people from Sweden and the Netherlands  | |
